Do the bishops work for the pope?
Bishops work for their dioceses but are under the guidance and leadership of the pope. There are bishops in Rome who are assigned various offices in the Vatican as part of the curia who may work directly for the pope. Many of these are cardinals.
Does the Bishop of Rome continue Peter's mission?
A:The Catholic Church considers the pope to continue the work and mission of Peter because Christian tradition says that Peter went to Rome and became the first bishop of Rome, appointing Linus as his successor, with subsequent bishops appointed continuously down to the present day. This continuous succession from an appointment made by Peter himself was important to the church of Rome in claiming primacy over all other Christian bishops. However, Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that there is a general agreement among scholars that the church of Rome was led by a council of presbyters until well into the second century, with no evidence of a ruling bishop. It is therefore no longer possible to say that the pope is literally the successor of Saint Peter, nor that he uniquely continues the work of Saint Peter, whether or not he actually visited Rome.

Do Bishops and Cardinals in the Catholic Church get paid?
Yes. It is a job. Most have other responsibilities too, as most cardinals are bishops, so they would be paid.Catholic AnswerMost Cardinals are bishops, although some are priests. Cardinals do NOT get paid for being a Cardinal, they continue in whatever job they that had before being appointed cardinal and are paid for that job. For instance, if they are a bishop of a diocese, then they continue to receive their salary as a bishop. If they work in the Curia, then they continue to receive their salary for that. Being a cardinal has no bearing whatsoever on their pay, and they are not paid for being a cardinal.
How did the church leader Irenaeus help bring about the rise of the pope and the Roman church?
Irenaeus claimed -that the Apostles had appointed bishops as their successors, -that these successors had in turn appointed successors of their own, -and that much (if not all) of the authority of the Apostles had therefore been passed down in an unbroken line to the bishops of his day.
